Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot isn’t calling THQ’s time of death, but if things go south for the struggling company, Guillemot may be interested in acquiring a few of its top brands.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
hmmmm..... interesting. am i sensing a takeover?
I was thinking EA or Ubisoft would buy THQ... I wouldn't mind it in truth.
Take Saints Row please....just save it from them because THQ are doing such a great job of ruining it. The third one was crap compared to the others, it felt like one step back for the franchise.
Take darksiders so I can play as fury then strife, but please dont turn it into an assassins creed clone.
Dont take Metro
Thats one of the few linear story based games that kicks most other linear story based games arse. Let THQ keep that
